Because I think know I see a guy who gets behind the count, throws 97 mph fastballs -- sans movement -- right down the middle and consistently gives up hits and runs. The Rangers led 2-0 in the 6th yesterday in Detroit when Lowe entered the game.

Lee helped pitch the Rangers to the World Series, and you can't put a value on his contribution to the longest, best season in franchise history. But with him now in Philly the trade is first baseman Justin Smoak (Seattle's starting first baseman), pitcher Blake Beavan (1-0 with a 0.90 ERA at AAA), pitcher Josh Lueke (who got his first Major League victory Monday night) and infielder Matthew Lawson (traded to the Cleveland Indians in spring training) for...Lowe?

Yuckspitvomit.

I want to like Lowe. He's 6-foot-3 with a live arm, and he went to my alma mater, UT-Arlington. But this is what we've received with him on the Rangers' mound:

In the 2010 regular season he made three appearances with an ERA of 12.00.
